Lamb chop and breast piece
Mutton chops/breast
Book measures lamb by kg; no spoon or piece count needed.
Instead of Lamb chop and breast piece
Mixed lamb piecesUse the same total weight; keep pieces even and adjust cooking time to the largest piece.
Lamb shoulderUse the same weight; leaner and meatier, so add a little oil and simmer 10 minutes longer.
Lamb chopUse the same weight if only the breast is missing; the dish will be less rich and fatty.
Vegetarian swaps
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight; chunk it and simmer 15–20 minutes longer until tender.
PaneerUse about 80% of the weight; add in the last 5 minutes so it stays soft.
PotatoUse the same weight; cut into large chunks and simmer until just tender.
